Dr. Marty Klein has documented the disaster in New Hampshire, and it is not a pretty sight!

Dr. Klein observes:

"At midnight on January 1, New Hampshire became the fourth state to legalize same-gender civil unions. Amid the New Year's Eve hoopla, twenty-three couples tied the knot on the State House steps.

As predicted, the world did more or less come to an end:

Heterosexual spouses across the state were disappointed with each other. While the sources of dissatisfaction were many, sex was a recurring complaint.

Horses and goats around the state asked for civil unions with their farmers or farmers' daughters (depending, of course, on the gender of the horses and goats).

Children showed various effects. There were many reports of peculiar behavior such as inattention in school, disobeying parents, and spending way too much time in the bathroom.

The other states to previously legalize gay civil unions are Vermont, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Only Massachusetts has legalized same-gender marriage. Some people see a sinister force at work, as the state's Boston Celtics are having a supernaturally good season--thus far winning 90% of their 30 games. Thus far, no has been able to prove that the citizens of Massachusetts have not sold their souls to the Devil.

As proof that God disapproves of homosexuality, several clergy members cited the unusual weather during the civil ceremonies--cold, with snow and some wind, despite the fact that it's January."

A graphic police report obtained by the Herald reveals what a top Massachusetts gubernatorial aide allegedly did to a 15-year-old boy in a ritzy Florida hotel steam room.

Carl Stanley McGee was arrested Dec. 28 at the Gasparilla Inn & Club in Boca Grande and has been charged with violating the state’s prohibition against sexual battery. Among the allegations described in the police report is the following: McGee and the alleged victim were in the steam room at the hotel the afternoon of Dec. 28 when McGee allegedly removed his towel. He then masturbated in front of the teen, and performed oral sex on him, according to the arrest report.

McGee was arrested Dec. 28 after one of the 15-year-old’s parents contacted police. McGee was placed on unpaid leave Jan. 7, pending the outcome of the charges.

McGee, who makes $115,000 a year as the assistant secretary for policy and planning, is a gay rights activist whose 2005 nuptials were featured in a New York Times [NYT] “Vows” feature. He was named a Rhodes Scholar in 1992.

One source close to the Patrick administration described McGee as a “brilliant man” viewed as a rising star in the Patrick administration.

A source close to McGee said he is a “great guy.” The source requested anonymity.

McGee was released on $300,000 bond. He is due back in court Feb. 11. His attorney, Charles Rankin, was in court this morning and could not immediately be reached for comment. A message left at McGee’s Atlantic Avenue home was not immediately returned.

In November, The Boston Globe named McGee among the Top 25 most stylish Bostonians, according to a Globe story today. The news of McGee’s arrest was first reported locally by the Globe.

McGee married John Finley IV on Nov. 12, 2005, and former Sen. Jarrett T. Barrios officiated, according to the New York Times column on the wedding.

Let me finally return to Dwight Macdonald and the responsibility of intellectuals. Macdonald quotes an interview with a death-camp paymaster who burst into tears when told that the Russians would hang him. "Why should they? What have I done?" he asked. Macdonald concludes: "Only those who are willing to resist authority themselves when it conflicts too intolerably with their personal moral code, only they have the right to condemn the death-camp paymaster." The question, "What have I done?" is one that we may well ask ourselves, as we read each day of fresh atrocities in Vietnam—as we create, or mouth, or tolerate the deceptions that will be used to justify the next defense of freedom.

– Chomsky, The Responsibility of Intellectuals 1967
